Job Openings at Medill School at Northwestern University
From Rich Gordon, chair of the multimedia search committee at the Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University (for questions, contact him at richgor@northwestern.edu): The Medill School at Northwestern University is seeking to hire two faculty members in multimedia journalism. It's an exciting time here as we revamp the school's curriculum to prepare students for 21st century journalism careers. As recently as two years ago, a student could complete his or her studies at Medill without ever being required to produce a story in a form other than text. Now all students are expected to develop proficiency in still photography, audio, video and online journalism. All of them must bring audio recorders, video cameras and laptop computers with multimedia production software. Our new curricula call for all students to develop visual literacy, build multimedia storytelling skills and prepare themselves for a world where content and advertising are "pulled" by consumers rather than "pushed"…
